HI KERBY, HOWS EVERYTHING GOING? GOOD I HOPE I WAS WONDERING OF YOU ARE PRODUCING ANY MENDOTA CAL KINGS THIS YEAR. IS MENDOTA THE SAME LOCALE IS DAVIS? OH , BYE THE WAY DO YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO IS ABLE TO COLLECT, SELLS, OR PRODUCES LONGNOSE SNAKES(RHINO LECONTEI)(PREFERABLY THE BLACK AND WHITES, WITH LITTLE TO NO RED) THANKS DAVE, HAPPY HERPING!!

Hello Dave, since I had 1.2 Mendotas I bred the male with one female and she is in her pre-shed. So I should have some Mendotas. You are on top of the list and there are people behind you waiting as well. I bred the other female Mendota with my Albino High White male. I also bred the male Mendota to a 50-50 female and to my chocolate banded female (already laid 11 eggs) and to my chocolate w/yellow stripe female (Carlsbad). Hope all these projects produce some nice stuff.

Rick Staub has the Davis locale and they look similar to the Mendotas. I only saw his babies. I didn't see the adults. Not all the Mendota cal kings are dark chocolate and aberrant like mine sooo.... I am hoping it is a recessive gene. That is why I did the breeding projects with the Mendotas that I did. I will know this summer if it is recessive or dominat, etc...

Next year I will know for sure if the "ghost" cal kings that I got from BHB are recessive......

I find the black & white longnose snakes around Bagdad all the time. I can keep a pair for you if you want them, let me know....those are free BTW
